Since time immemorial, plants have served as potent symbols. Celebrating the magic of the natural realm, Volume IV of The Library of Esoterica, delves into the symbolism, ceremony, and our ritual relationships with the botanical world. A visual journey through our interdependent evolution with nature, ‘Plant Magick’ celebrates botanicals as creative muse – from ancient Greek sculptures to Renaissance paintings to visionary art inspired by psychoactive plants, cacti, and mushrooms, made by artists and (anonymous) amateurs. From root to vibrant blossom, this abundantly illustrated publication with small comments explaining each illustration, explores the fertile, interconnected history between plants and people, the multitude of ways in which we embrace plants in spiritual ceremony, as healing medicine, as creative muse and as gateways into deeper explorations of consciousness.
